The magazine's charter is to convey the adventure of flight and space travel to an audience with a special interest in the history and technology of aerospace. Its editorial goals are to evoke the various experiences of flight, to examine the received wisdom of aerospace history, and to delight a readership of enthusiasts with a wealth of information and entertainment.
